Lord of the Mysteries: The New Black Emperor

Because the royal family's demigods were all guarding George III's tomb today, and the military's demigods were basically all on the front lines, the 195th Division didn't have a demigod stationed there.

There were only three Sequence 5 members forming a team, using two different Sealed Artifacts to check every half hour to see if Hobert's main body was here.

One of these two Sealed Artifacts could check Hobert's blood to see if it belonged to him.

Hobert had prepared for this a long time ago. He had given Archibald some of his flesh and a small tuft of hair in advance. From a mystical point of view, these things are the easiest to verify a person's identity.

The other Sealed Artifact was based on previous observations of Hobert in public, combined with Hobert's language and physical habits, forming a "psychological portrait" of Hobert.

Now, this "psychological portrait" could be used to identify the authenticity of Hobert. As long as the Hobert "in front" of the Sealed Artifact made an abnormal move, it would be captured by the Sealed Artifact.

After more than five abnormal moves, it could basically be determined that the target was being impersonated.

However, Archibald's ability was the nemesis of this "Spectator" pathway Sealed Artifact. His imitation of Hobert was so lifelike that he could even imitate his body odor. It was estimated that even Fors and Audrey would not be able to distinguish him immediately.

In addition, Hobert also gave Archibald two "Deceit Charms". If it really didn't work, he could still use "Deceit".

When Archibald received Hobert's code, he used "Deceit" on the people around him, as well as the Sealed Artifact that had been observing him.

The two quickly completed the exchange. Archibald even had time to hand over two cigars he had picked up to Hobert.

Before the effect of the "Deceit Charm" disappeared, Hobert was already sitting in the chair Archibald had just sat in, with his legs crossed, constantly surveying the situation of the entire defense zone with his spirituality.

According to the previous agreement, after Archibald left Backlund, he used the method of praying to the "Creator" to inform Hobert of the matters needing attention.

Basically, after digesting the "Frenzied Mage" potion, Hobert could hear the content of the prayer even without going to the "Nation of Disorder".

After carefully listening to the precautions Archibald said, Hobert calmed down and recalled today's actions, confirming that he had not left any clues at the scene.

As for the biggest gain of this operation, it was of course the Beyonder characteristics of the "King of Sins".

The second gain was Adam's series of assistance to him. First, he strengthened the connection with the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" pathway. Hobert planned to look for the uniqueness immediately after advancing to Sequence 2.

Secondly, it allowed Hobert to completely digest the potion and increased his probability of successful advancement.

At this time, Hobert had already felt that the panic and chaos caused by the death of George III were feeding back to him little by little.

This not only allowed him to completely digest the potion, but also made him feel very good.

Just as Hobert was thinking wildly, Georgina rushed over. She first quietly prayed to William I before coming to the military awning and asking, "Have you encountered any enemies?"

"I heard that a few spies were caught," Hobert stretched and said, "But they are not difficult to deal with. I didn't even have time to take action."

Georgina stretched out her hand to Hobert: "Shake hands."

Only by touching Hobert could she completely distinguish the authenticity of the Hobert in front of her.

Hobert frowned: "Didn't you just draw blood?"

"That's different," Georgina said.

Hobert impatiently stretched out his hand and shook hands with Georgina.

After Georgina confirmed that the Hobert in front of her was the real one, she waved to the soldiers outside, asking him to bring her a chair to sit next to Hobert: "You should know why you were asked to stay here, right?"

Hobert smiled: "Didn't you say it was confidential? How could I possibly know?"

Georgina took a deep breath and said seriously: "I have something very important to discuss with you."

Hobert also became serious: "I heard some news. It seems that His Majesty the King has a secret plan. Based on today's speech and my deployment, I was guessing just now that the King's plan will be implemented today, right?"

Georgina nodded: "Yes."

She asked again: "Do you know the specific plan? Where did you hear some news?"

Hobert glanced at Georgina: "It seems that the plan has failed."

He smiled: "And, we have become your suspects?"

"I'm not suspecting you," Georgina immediately corrected, "I just want to conduct some investigations based on some clues."

Hobert laughed: "Although I don't have the ability to tell whether you are telling the truth, I can also know that you are lying through my own judgment."

But he didn't dwell on this issue, but said: "I heard from the church that the royal family seems to be excavating the ruins of the Fourth Epoch, but the specific investigation has encountered huge obstacles."

Georgina slowly nodded. The church had almost learned of the royal family's conspiracy before, and according to intelligence, Hobert did have close ties with the Church of the Evernight Goddess.

Hobert then said: "Based on the royal family's need for a large number of slaves and girls, and the extreme efforts to conceal the ruins, we have made some guesses."

Georgina asked further: "What are the specific guesses?"

Hobert glanced at Georgina: "The King is preparing to become a god!"

Hearing this answer, Georgina had basically ruled out the suspicion of the "Creator" and his forces in her heart. If Hobert and the others had no guesses based on these clues that the royal family had accidentally revealed, it would be strange.

Georgina continued to ask: "Based on what specific clues did you form such a guess?"

Hobert slowly lit a cigar, took a beautiful puff, and then said: "I refuse to answer."

"I just want to investigate…"

"It's already very cooperative of me to answer those questions before," Hobert said, "I am not your prisoner. I can answer whatever I want to answer, and I can not answer whatever I don't want to answer."

He paused and then said: "Your failure is entirely because you are suspicious of each other.

Imagine, if we had helped with this operation, would you have failed?"

Georgina sighed. If she had asked the "Creator's" forces for help, the probability of success would indeed be greater. After all, it is said that the "Creator" can mobilize four angels.

She said: "It's not that I don't trust you, but we have too few opportunities for cooperation. If you had risen a few years ago, we would definitely have more close cooperation."

Hobert gave a very perfunctory "um" and put out the cigar he had just lit to express his dissatisfaction: "Since you are here, then I have to go back, after all, I am quite busy."

Without waiting for Georgina to persuade him to stay, the space in front of Hobert became illusory, and he stepped into the spirit world.

After Hobert left, William I's voice rang in Georgina's ear: "Continue to conduct tracking investigations, but be careful not to be noticed."

In the eyes of this "Hand of Order", it was somewhat abnormal that the "Creator" did not send out forces to stop today's god-making plan.

However, at this critical moment, he could not antagonize the "Creator", so he could only continue the secret investigation.

Georgina was slightly stunned. She didn't think there was anything abnormal about Hobert.

The "Creator's" ability to mobilize four angels was already quite terrifying. If He could also command an Angel of the Marauder Pathway, even if they established a country in the Northern Continent, no one would dare to stop them.

The key is that, theoretically speaking, the "Creator" also has no channels to know the location of the nine tombs.

But Georgina didn't say anything. Since William I had issued the order, she would just do it.

… …

After Hobert entered the spirit world, he stopped acting and smiled easily.

After passing Georgina's test, there was no need to worry about this matter anymore.

Hobert was very sure of this. Even if the Loen royal family found evidence proving that the "Creator" was the mastermind of this operation, Loen would not dare to confront the "Creator" at this time.

And after the war ends, William I will launch further investigations.

Or when the "Creator" is about to become the "Black Emperor", William I can be very sure that the power of the "Creator" was involved in today's events.

But perhaps before that, Hobert will take the lead in overturning the table!

Back in the study of the Duke's mansion, Xio and Freya were still here.

They were both a little lost in thought, as if they were thinking about their own things.

It was not until Hobert came that they both came back to their senses at the same time.

Freya immediately stood up and bowed to Hobert: "Teacher, thank you for avenging my mother."

Hobert smiled: "Work hard and take care of Daisy, which is what your mother would most like to see."

Freya said "Yes", then bid farewell and left. After returning from the tomb, she felt refreshed and wanted to take a walk on the street alone.

After Freya left the study, Xio also stood up and said: "Hobert, I am also very grateful to you.

To be honest, since I learned that the King ordered the killing of my father, I once thought that this revenge would never be avenged. I didn't expect…"

Unexpectedly, she actually judged George III today!

Hobert smiled: "There's nothing to thank me for. I also feel a great sense of accomplishment to be able to avenge you."

Xio took a deep breath. Her knot was also completely untied. At this time, she felt that her state had never been better: "Oh, right."

Xio said a little embarrassedly: "My potion has been completely digested."

Hobert gave an "um" and said: "This is to be expected."

Although George III ultimately failed to become a god, his position at the time was at least equivalent to a Sequence 1.

A Sequence 6 "Judge" judged a Sequence 1 King of Angels, and naturally, the potion was immediately digested.

Hobert pondered for a moment before saying, "You can choose to advance first, and after completing the advancement, make up for the corresponding merits."

"I estimate that your "Disciplinary Knight" potion will also be digested almost completely, after all, George III has also received his due punishment!"

"Become a demigod first if you can, and then make up for the merits."

Finally, Hobert explained again: "We are currently relatively lacking in demigod-level combat power."

Hobert had previously observed the battles between the Church of the Evernight Goddess and the Church of the God of Combat, which made him realize that even in battles between orthodox churches, the demigod battlefield is the key to determining the outcome of a battle.

The struggles between angels are more like a confrontation, because at this level, unless by chance, it is difficult to harm each other.

Beyonder battles that occur daily cannot casually involve the power of angels. Then, the power that can determine the direction of daily battles is definitely the power of the demigod level.

This made Hobert realize that he should use the Beyonder characteristics of the demigod level in his hands as soon as possible.

Xio was slightly stunned after hearing Hobert's arrangement: "Okay, alright."

She still felt like she was in a dream, never expecting to have the opportunity to become a demigod so quickly.

Before becoming Hobert's intelligence officer, Xio had always been a wild Beyonder, so she naturally knew how rare such an opportunity was.

After Xio also left, Hobert used "Travel" to go to Longtail Island to find Fors, briefly described today's actions to her, and told her that "The World" had asked him for help in the past two days, and he was going out for a trip.

Hobert had previously told Fors that he was going to work with "The World" to prevent the King from becoming a god. Fors didn't feel surprised about what happened today.

She only told Hobert to pay attention to safety and come back as soon as he was done helping.

Then Hobert went to Angers and also told Conrad, Seel and others that he would not show up in the next two days, and asked them to do a good job of prevention.

The death of George III may also affect the situation in the Southern Continent.

Especially the Duchy of Southern Balam, which is currently in a state of civil war, is most likely to be affected, and it may help the Highland Kingdom to make up its mind and fully support those local nobles and warlords.

Finally, Hobert returned to Backlund, found a decent hotel in the Cherwood Borough to stay in. He estimated that Klein had already been captured by Amon's angel-level avatar, and Hobert was concentrating on waiting for Klein's help.

… …

"Extra! Extra! The Feynapotter Kingdom has brazenly invaded Lenburg."

Leonard, wearing red gloves and a black and white checkered police uniform, sat in the carriage provided by the police station, watching the newsboys waving newspapers and running quickly on the streets and squares.

Leonard leaned lazily on the seat of the carriage and said to several colleagues: "The King only passed away yesterday, and Feynapotter took action today!"

Cindy, a member of the Red Gloves, said: "Surprisingly, the Intis Republic has not made a statement so far, and has not even condemned the Loen royal family in the newspapers in the past two days."

"This is not a good sign." Another team member, Bob, said, "They seem to be brewing something in secret."

Leonard looked out the window again. He somewhat guessed why the Intis Republic was suddenly silent. According to the old man, angels from the Feysac Empire and the Feynapotter Kingdom participated in yesterday's operation, but the Intis Republic did not send out "High-Sequence" extraordinary powers to participate in the war.

It is possible that only the Intis Republic did not get specific information about George III becoming a god, so they simply didn't know how to stop the plan to become a god.

At this time, the Intis Republic must be confirming the news everywhere, and will only make a clear statement after knowing what happened yesterday.

Lost in thought, the carriage came to Rose Street, the Harvest Church.

The team members got out of the car one after another and entered the church.

The church was empty with only two figures, one was Bishop Utravsky, who was sitting in the front row, concentrating on praying, like a small mountain.

One was Emlyn, wearing a clergyman's robe, with black hair and red eyes, cleaning the floor.

After seeing Leonard, Emlyn was slightly stunned: Could this be Mr. Star? Well, judging from his physique and temperament, he fits the feeling that Mr. Star gives people.

Then Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: You guys are finally here.

He bought a newspaper on the way to Harvest Church and learned that the Feynapotter Kingdom had invaded Lenburg, an allied country of the Loen Kingdom. Although the Loen Kingdom has not yet made a statement on this, people's hostility towards the Feynapotter Kingdom and the Church of the Earth Mother is even deeper.

Leonard also took a deep look at Emlyn: Hehe, "The Moon" is indeed Emlyn White!

Then he walked along the aisle all the way to Bishop Utravsky's side: "I am a senior inspector from the Backlund Police Department, I have something to ask you to go back to assist in the investigation."

Bishop Utravsky slowly opened his eyes, slowly stood up, condescendingly but asked in a peaceful tone: "What's the matter?"

Leonard had already made up a reason: "Nearby residents reported that your behavior was abnormal, and you may be a spy from Feysac or Feynapotter."

Bishop Utravsky was silent for two seconds, then turned his head and looked at Emlyn standing next to the candlestick.

Emlyn's slightly complicated expression suddenly froze, he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The spirits of Leonard and the Red Glove team members were tense. For this operation, they even applied for a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact, for fear that this devotee of the Earth Mother would resist fiercely.

The atmosphere in the church froze for a few seconds before Bishop Utravsky nodded slightly and said: "Okay."

So cooperative? Leonard was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Thank you for your cooperation."

When Leonard came, he thought that if a conflict really occurred and he had to kill Bishop Utravsky, it was likely to become an excuse for the Feynapotter Kingdom to declare war on the Loen Kingdom.

Even the fuse that turned the war from local to full-scale!

Leonard even thought that his name might appear in textbooks in later generations.

At this time, Emlyn also breathed a sigh of relief, very satisfied with his performance at the Tarot Gathering.

Two Red Glove members carefully followed Bishop Utravsky, who was more than two meters tall, to the left and right. At this time, team member Cindy glanced at the handsome Emlyn and lowered his voice to ask Leonard: "Team, uh, boss, there's also a priest, do you want to take him away too?"

Emlyn: "… …"

Leonard: "… …"

After several seconds, after repeated deliberation, Leonard finally said: "If the spy case involves Feynapotter, he is also highly suspected, please ask him to go back to assist in the investigation together."

Emlyn was stunned there, not knowing how to express his feelings at this time.

… …

Most of the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" does not have roads in the normal sense, but it is not difficult to walk, because most of it is barren wilderness.

Above the wilderness, you can occasionally see plants that grow tenaciously. They are strangely shaped and extremely distorted. Klein has no way of distinguishing what the prototype of these things is.

Klein felt that his spirituality was about to dry up, and he said to Amon: "I need to rest now."

In the battle with Zaratul, Klein consumed a lot of spirituality. He originally planned to go back to sleep and recover his energy, but he encountered an ambush by Amon's avatar.

After arriving at the "Forsaken Land of the Gods", this guy gave Klein a chance. Before meeting His main body, He would not parasitize Klein, and let Klein find a way to escape at will, and Amon would do his best to stop him.

Just now, Klein noticed two very suspicious things. The first was that after arriving at the "Forsaken Land of the Gods", Amon's avatar changed into classical attire. The second was that Amon's avatar seemed to suddenly have the authority related to "Error".

This made Klein guess that the "Amon avatar" in front of him might be Amon's main body, and he didn't know what the purpose of the "opportunity" he gave himself to escape was.

"Okay." Amon, wearing a monocle, said to the side of the hill: "There is a place to rest there, and we will be there soon."

"Of course, I don't mind if you want to camp in the wilderness, I just feel that you humans might prefer a place that can provide a sense of security."

"Go there." Klein followed Amon and walked towards the ruins he mentioned.

On the way, he asked curiously: "Why don't you steal the distance and go directly to the destination?"

Amon tilted his head and glanced at Klein: "It's not me who wants to rest."

Klein was stunned, he was speechless.

About a dozen minutes later, they came to a ruin with a dozen huge stone pillars. The very tired Klein immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, he also knew that the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" was very dangerous, but with Amon by his side, it was estimated that those dangers would have to go around.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Klein woke up.

He didn't get up immediately, but began to think in his mind about how to escape.

After careful consideration, Klein opened his eyes, and saw Amon wearing a soft peaked cap sitting beside him, smiling at Klein: "Have you thought about it? When will you start acting?"

That tone was like Klein's accomplice.

Klein slowly sat up straight, smiled and shook his head: "Before filling my stomach, my brain resists work."

So he began to grab coffee tables, tableware, and a freshly cooked steak covered in black pepper from the void.

Then cream soup, pan-fried cod, pea stewed lamb, and various wines were summoned out one by one.

Amon's expression shifted from initial bewilderment to curiosity, and finally to amusedly watching the spectacle from the sidelines.

Klein's meal finally reached the dessert course. He retrieved a cup of vanilla ice cream from the void, scooping spoonful after spoonful into his mouth.

After finishing one cup, he was still not satisfied, and summoned another ice cream from the gaps of history.

He ate five in a row, and just as Klein was preparing to summon the sixth, Amon, who was sitting beside him, suddenly chuckled, "The changes in your destiny have been abnormal enough; you are already quite lucky. Continuing to eat won't help much."

What Klein had been summoning was the ice cream he previously sacrificed to "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin. This chairman of the Life School, hiding in Backlund, had a great love for ice cream.

Klein's summoning from the gaps of history allowed Him to sense it, and so He gave a certain response.

Hearing Amon's words, Klein seemed very surprised, but almost at the same time, in places the lamplight couldn't reach, strange and grotesque creatures twitched in unison, instantly transforming into Klein's marionettes.

Immediately afterward, behind the coffee table, Klein, wearing a black wool coat, was replaced by an extremely disgusting Sanguine covered in pus.

In the next second, those one hundred marionettes, along with Klein's main body, hidden somewhere unknown, began to chant: "The Creator in the Shadows of Order…"

At the same time, all one hundred marionettes reached out with their right hands, pulling outward from the void. Among them, more than a dozen marionettes were lucky enough to pull out Hobert, wearing a black crystal mask.

Amon remained leisurely seated in place. He raised his right hand and grabbed forward: "The Creator in the Shadows of Order; hehe, so it's the "Creator".

"You are the source and end of all order; what a grand claim!

"You are the Ruler of Laws who holds the Bell of Order! Ha, the "Bell of Order" is in his hands after all."

He stole the phrase "You are the source and end of all order" from 50 marionettes, and the phrase "You are the Ruler of Laws who holds the Bell of Order" from 50 marionettes along with Klein's main body.

As a result, not a single marionette could complete the prayer, and Amon himself also added some of his own comments in the middle of the honorific name, thereby breaking the integrity of the honorific name.

Amon reached out again and stole all one hundred of Klein's marionettes.

Those Hoberts summoned from the gaps of history also immediately disappeared.

Klein walked out of the darkness generously, sat beside Amon, and smiled slightly, "An after-dinner stroll helps improve one's health."

He didn't mention the attempted escape just now, as if nothing had happened.

Amon maintained his previous leisurely posture, nodding with a smile in perfect cooperation, "I"ve read many books written by humans; there is indeed such a viewpoint in them."

Then, as if chatting with Klein, He asked, "Are you still a devotee of the "Creator"?"

He added with a smile, "I"ve heard of this newly risen god. According to my investigation of the Tony Manor, He has also attacked and eliminated other avatars."

Klein replied, "This ancient god can hear my prayers."

Amon asked again, "Ancient? How ancient?"

"Said to be from the First Epoch."

"You"ve been deceived!" Amon said with a chuckle, "Before the Fourth Epoch, there were no Angels or higher beings in the "Black Emperor" and "Justiciar" pathways."

Klein suddenly froze, because he also recalled that before the Fourth Epoch, he had indeed never heard of gods or subsidiary gods of these two pathways. It seemed that in the early Fourth Epoch, many extraordinary families of the "Lawyer" and "Arbiter" pathways suddenly appeared.

For a moment, Klein didn't know whether Amon was telling the truth or a deception. He asked, "Before the Fourth Epoch, why were there no "High-Sequence" Beyonders of these two pathways?"

Amon glanced at Klein: "It seems to be related to the Lord of the Mysteries.

"These two pathways are very special, originating from the "Son of Chaos". It is said that the "Son of Chaos" was a life directly conceived by the Original Creator, so He easily broke through the barrier set by the "Original Creator" on 'Earth.'

"After all, that shield was formed by the remaining power after the "Original Creator" split…"

He smiled as He said this: "You look very shocked. Have you not heard of the "Son of Chaos"? Or have you not heard of the "Original Creator's" barrier?"

At this moment, Klein's heart contracted rapidly. He was somewhat distraught, and the smile he used to conceal his inner thoughts froze on his face.

Thump, thump!

Klein seemed to hear his own heartbeat: Earth, He just said Earth! 'Earth' is not a name people of this world use!

Immediately afterward, thoughts appeared in his mind:

There are twelve months in a year, three hundred and sixty-five days, with leap years…

There are twenty-four hours in a day, sixty minutes in an hour, sixty seconds in a minute…

There is only one sun and one moon in the sky…

It's confirmed to be a planet…

The Northern and Southern Continent are overall very similar in shape to that of North and South America. However, a large part of the isthmus that connects the two landmasses has been wiped away by some kind of power, forming the Berserk Sea with its complicated and winding sea routes… Also, Sonia Island is like the gigantic landmass Greenland in the north that drifted south…

Midseashire is like the expanded and connected version of the Great Lakes of North America. It's as though it suffered a strike from a massive meteor...

The parents of the Giant King are humans. The origins of the Sanguine and elves are also suspected to be humans…

…

As each thought popped up, Klein even trembled slightly.

He used a lot of strength to let out a sigh in his heart: Perhaps, I have never left my hometown, but I will never be able to go home.

Immediately afterward, Klein seemed to see tall skyscrapers, various cars driving on the roads, and pedestrians coming and going.

At this moment, he was extremely clear: This world is Earth!

As soon as he came to this conclusion, Klein's "Scholar of Yore" potion was completely digested at this moment.

At the same time, Klein discovered that his connection with the "Sefirah Castle" had been further strengthened. He instantly understood that at this moment, he did not need to chant incantations. With just a thought, his spirit body could enter the "Sefirah Castle."

This was undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to escape!

He couldn't be bothered to marvel at the fact that this world was Earth. Believing that Amon definitely didn't know of such a development, Klein immediately thought of jumping straight towards Sefirah Castle.

At this moment, the corner of his eye reflected the pointy-hatted, monocled, classic mage-robed Amon curled "His" lips into a smile—one that spoke of endless joy.

Klein's mind suddenly exploded as all his thoughts were occupied by the crazy raving from Amon.

"You're right. I didn't want to steal your destiny, bearing the burden while becoming the new owner of Sefirah Castle…"

"You're right. This was a scam that has been going on since the beginning…

"However, the core of this scam was to make you think that me giving you hope and destroying it was to break your will and make you agree to become my Blessed…"

"If I hadn't specially changed my clothes when I entered the Forsaken Land of the Gods, as well as my 'accidental' use of 'Error' powers, would you have been so sure that my true body was already here?

"Could it be possible that the God of Deceit doesn't understand that changing one's image would expose many problems?

"Did you think that I wouldn't understand what the name 'Chernobyl' means?

"I've been in the Forsaken Land of the Gods for more than a thousand years. I've been searching for the oldest traces of history, the ones that go far beyond the First Epoch."

"The true goal of this journey was to give you some time and give you some historical knowledge to aid you in digesting the Scholar of Yore potion, so that you can relax your vigilance in this area. Then, when your connection with Sefirah Castle deepens and you attempt to trigger it, I'll seize this opportunity and use a loophole to steal Sefirah Castle.

"The destiny shall be yours, and Sefirah Castle shall be mine."

...

After saying that, Amon immediately turned around and, with the help of that invisible connection, "leapt" towards the "Sefirah Castle" above the grayish-white mist.

Klein stood painfully in place. The words that had appeared in his mind in an instant were like a kind of delirium, making him unable to turn his thoughts.

Amon stretched out his hand, passing through the final obstacle, almost able to truly touch the "Sefirah Castle", essentially stealing it.

Just then, that little distance suddenly became very, very far. The "Sefirah Castle" seemed to have a life of its own and quickly retreated. Immediately afterward, Amon discovered that both he and Klein had left the spirit world and returned to the real world.

Amon looked towards the sky and smiled, "Very clever 'tampering" and 'magnification"."

At this time, in the sky, there was a figure exuding a black, holy light, wearing black armor and a black cloak.

That was the "Creator."

However, what surprised Klein was that the image of the "Creator" was very different from before.

Although He was still in the forest of swords, this time He was standing instead of sitting.

In addition, two arms had appeared under the "Creator's" armpits this time, giving Him four arms.

The two uppermost arms, one hand holding a black ball of light, and the other holding a golden scepter.

The two lower arms, one hand holding a silver-black box, with a bracelet on the wrist. The other hand was holding a porcelain doll.

The mystical items He held were the Beyonder characteristics of "Prince of Abolition" and the "Sun Scepter" respectively.

As well as the "0-72" Sealed Artifact, the "0-70" Creation Bracelet, and the "0-71" Calamity Porcelain Doll.

Hobert in the "Nation of Disorder" glanced at Klein and said to himself: I took out all the "Creator's" belongings to save you. If any of those things are stolen by Amon, you have to compensate!

The reason why the "Creator" could appear here in time was because of Klein's actions earlier. At that time, Klein and the marionettes did fail to complete the prayer to the "Creator."

But it didn't matter that it wasn't completed, because Klein's main purpose was actually to summon Hobert from the gaps of history.

Of course, he was also very clear that even if he could summon a hundred Hoberts, it would be useless. The key was that the summoned Hobert wore a mask of "Order Crystal."

During the previous chat on Longtail Island, the two had talked about the black crystal mask. Klein was very clear that the material of that mask was very special.

If summoned from the historical void, Hobert would definitely be able to sense something, and then, based on the clues of "Scholar of Yore" and Klein's disappearance, he would know that it was his cry for help and immediately report to "The Creator."

But if he were merely summoning Hobert, as a Sequence 3, he wouldn't be able to sense anything at all, and naturally, he wouldn't be able to complete the process of asking for help.

For Hobert, Klein's summoning of the "Order Crystal" gave him a clear location.

In the "Forsaken Land of the Gods," because of the obstruction of Beyonder powers, Hobert couldn't directly find him using Klein's star. With this clear location, he could use the star in front of the Iron Throne to find Klein's specific location.

Because he held the Beyonder characteristic of "Prince of Abolition," Hobert could use some abilities at the Sequence 2 and Sequence 1 levels.

At this time, this Beyonder characteristic in his hand was more like a controllable Sealed Artifact. Of course, if he held such a Beyonder characteristic to participate in the battle, Amon would definitely see through the truth immediately, but he couldn't care about that much now.

As for whether Amon's avatars would spread the word all over the world in the future that "The Creator's" level was inflated, it didn't matter, after all, who would believe Amon's words?

When the "Black Emperor" pathway reaches the Sequence 1 level, it can even 'tamper" with numbers. For example, Hobert can 'tamper" his two arms into four, which would be enough.

However, Hobert was also very clear that he was still not a match for Amon's main body.

So, in order to avoid alerting Amon, Hobert had been waiting for an opportunity in the "Nation of Disorder," and suddenly struck when Amon revealed his true intentions, thwarting His deception and conspiracy.

At that time, what Hobert 'tampered" with was not the location of the "Sefirah Castle," nor Amon's 'theft," but the distance, 'magnifying" the boundary between the real world and the spirit world.

He would rather 'tamper" with the order of nature than touch the "Sefirah Castle" and "Amon," because that would likely fail.

On the barren land, "The Creator" and Amon confronted each other briefly for a second or two. Amon smiled and said, ""The Creator" seems a little different from the legends."

As he spoke, He grabbed towards "The Creator," and "The Creator" immediately 'distorted" His 'theft," causing Amon to only grab a marionette that had already lost its vitality.

The black sphere of light in "The Creator's" hand suddenly became inflated, and the space around Amon quickly compressed, forming a pressure that could press steel even thinner.

But Amon only moved his fingers slightly, and the compressed space around him was stolen.

He revealed a playful smile: "What a pity, you haven't been able to control the "Bell of Order" yet."

After a round of exchanges, they had a mutual understanding of each other's strength.

"The Creator" needed to be careful to deal with Amon's attacks, but could perform operations such as 'distortion."

"The Creator's" attacks didn't cause much damage to Amon, but couldn't be ignored.

Under such circumstances, taking a defensive posture was the best strategy for "The Creator," but given the current situation, Hobert couldn't do that.

Because he had to create an opportunity for Klein to escape, because letting Amon attack would be even more dangerous!

So "The Creator" first opened the first layer of the "0-72" Box of the Great Old Ones, and put Amon and the area around Him into the box.

Amon grinned, and the Box of the Great Old Ones appeared in His hand.

For Amon, who inherently possessed the uniqueness of the Marauder Pathway, even with the protection of the "Nation of Disorder," He still had a certain probability of stealing things from "The Creator's" hand.

After all, in His opinion, "The Creator's" use of the Sefirah was simply ridiculously shallow.

But in the next second, Amon couldn't laugh anymore, because the Box of the Great Old Ones exuded the aura of the "Nation of Disorder," which was not the gray fog of the "Sefirah Castle," and was corruption to Him.

This was also why He only used one chance to steal the Box of the Great Old Ones.

In fact, it was equivalent to Hobert directly sending it to His hand.

The corruption of the "Nation of Disorder" quickly eroded Amon, and a mottled clock immediately appeared behind Him. The hands of the clock turned back a bit, and the Box of the Great Old Ones in Amon's hand and the corruption He received disappeared, all returned to "The Creator."

For Hobert, that corruption was not corruption at all, but a source of power.

Before coming, he thought for a long time and believed that the corruption of the "Nation of Disorder" should be the only thing that could make Amon's main body afraid.

"The Creator" took advantage of this opportunity, using the "0-70" Creation Bracelet, to make monsters in the shape of plants grow around Amon and quickly entangle Amon.

Amon, who was entangled, was stunned: "This Sealed Artifact looks a bit familiar!"

At this time, not far away, Klein, who had already stepped one foot into the historical void, glanced at the battlefield. "The Creator" didn't look like an ancient god who was recovering at all, and could actually directly block Amon's main body!
